Does it help a lot in the turns? I'm assuming we need the coupe version..

It does help more than stock belts.
But I also found that using the stuff you line drawers and cabinets to prevent things from sliding around also works wonders.

I still find myself bracing myself on the dead pedal.

Wow that's a pretty ingenious product. Now I know what to get if I ever get to the point where I autox my car.

I do.

Make sure you order thwm directly from HMS as they are Schroth NA. Just tell them the application you need and they'll take care of you.

Cheers,

True. It uses pieces from the coupe and sedan.
Just tell them it's for a 318ti.

I've had Schroth harness in two different cars, both of which were autocrossed. I would just go for the standard Rallye 4 and save yourself some coin, but they work awesome and hold you in place really well. Here are a few pictures of the Rallye 4 in my Impreza, when I wasnt using it I would just unclip the back part from the front, the front part would tuck under the seat and the rear part would just lay on the rear seats. Check with www.soloracer.com I've ordered lots of stuff from them over the years and they have always been great
